For this kind needs another pre filter also?

No, this is PoE, so no other pre filter will be required. It is a washable type too.

I will create a thread with more explanation once stock arrives.

Just add-on FD to my Culligan EZ-4. Total 4 stages of filtration.
1 micron melt blown sediment > Doulton Ceramic > Disruptor > Culligan EZ-4.
Any comment, hestati?

Good setup, but can probably get rid of ceramic once it gets blocked or old, I don't think it has any real use in this setup.

How is the flow rate?



Question for everyone. Water dispenser... I have many customers asking for it, and we have really nothing to offer. Dispenser is a crucial part, since water is sitting in it for a long time, so it must not leach any lead or plastic in the clean filtered water. So far, I can't find any certified dispenser either for personal use or to be able to offer to customers. Any idea, suggestion?

Thanks!

After I remove the ceramic, just leave one housing empty or you have any other suggestion for the empty housing?

The flow rate is 1min = 1200ml. (4 stages). If only first 3 stages, the flow rate is 2 or 3 times faster.

Home water dispenser for personal use? Put a lead free faucet + tubing inside a diy dispenser box? tongue.gif

Yes, can leave it empty. If you want to have fun, can put granular carbon cartridge there, it will not reduce the flow, but will help your main filter to deal with chlorine. And VOCs

Surprised flow rate is much less with stage 4.... Is it brand new?

As for dispenser, problem is most people want cold/hot dispenser. Usually dispensers are easily infested by bacteria and require a lot of maintenance. I found very nice NSF cert dispensers, but they are... 3000 USD and more, must be made of gold. Also found in 300USD range, but I find that even that is too much. Must be around 500-600RM...

Hello, If I use your Fresca system, do I need to have a pre-filter installed?

Hello. No, Fresca has a sediment filter as stage 1, so it is like an integrated pre-filter. Stage 1 (as well as stage 2) is washable cartridge, 5 micron sediment, so there is no need for a separate pre filter.

Unfortunately no, have no installer in JB yet, but this is a simple installation process, most installers charge 100RM to install this kind of filter under the sink. If on top of the counter, then you can DIY easily.

Biggest problem is that right now, I have no US made faucets, since I ran out this week. Next week I should receive the faucets.

P.S. my bad, should have replied by PM, but posted here.

What's the best, affordable & lasting outdoor filter? My pipe water contains many heavy metal such as lead & worried they might clogging the pipe.

Doesn't plan to make it drinkable as we used to boil the water before consume.

Lead?
Heavy metal?

What proof do you have?

All sediment filters are about the same

Probably iron, I doubt you are exposed to lead 24/7. To have PoE to filter lead... Can, but it will be expensive, you will need a quality, modified carbon block and a sediment filter. Media filter will not be able to do it.

I posted a photo on previous page, this is what iron does to filter in about 3-4 days.

Sorry my mistake. I think it's Iron. sweat.gif

As I'm not always around, I was planning to buy
AMGO Korea UF1500L Ultra Filtration UF Membrane Filter Water Purifier Outdoor Water Filter 0.01 Micron
AMGO UF Stainless Steel Outdoor Water Filter Auto Timer,Auto Backwash(Best Quality)

Outdoor water filter + auto backwash.

Will they be good enough for basic iron filtration?

Thanks for your suggestion.

I will go for Outdoor Sediment filter + auto backwash.

AMGO seems like a biggest seller in lazada.

If too much iron, then any filter will get blocked fast. Except maybe media sediment filter, but that's because it will not filter iron well and it will all go to your PoU or kettle.

In that case, maybe can do 20 micron followed by 5 micron sediment filter.

I was referring to dispenser, not filter. Dispenser does not have integrated filter, it is used as an additional unit to serve hot/cold water
